Hi all, Just found out that the room in which the old MiNDS> machine is stored WILL BE DEMOLISHED TOMORROW MORNING so the stuff HAS to get out THIS EVENING. If I don't get a response by 4:30 I'll take it upon myself to clear out the stuff and put it in the postgrad lab.

Most will, but it might make 1 or 2 people realise that we are not outside the laws of the university or heanet. Also, we can now show the cc how serious we are about going along with their rules. I'd also suggest that a link to an online, browsable copy of the rules and regulations be made a permanent fixture on our message of the day, and of course on our website. Bottom line is, we need a server up and running by fairs day. The cc are being very vague about what they will let us do with our existing machine, I am going to try stephen brown and talk to stephen brown and/or john keating about it. Even limited access to our machine would be something.

[Minds-disaster] The coffee tastes terrible
by David Barrett 25 Aug '01

25 Aug '01

I'm drinking terrible coffee ... and I made it myself, which makes it even worse. In other, and more relevant, news; if what Bart told me on Thursday is true, the setting up of the E450 will start sometime next week. John Keating is said to be anxious to get things ready - as am I and everyone at Minds - so the Fairs Day target does not seem out of reach. I'd like to get Minds admin people down too. Phil is busy with exams, but Aidan finishes up work soon (and *might* be able to help during the weekdays). If my services are required, I'll be job-free in two to three weeks, ready to disperse the funk. I don't know about Cian's status. What's the story, Cian? Anyway, word. David Barrett Chairperson, Minds

[Minds-disaster] Complete history of Minds-Disaster
by Aidan Delaney 24 Aug '01

24 Aug '01

Ok heres the first bit of documentation on the Minds disaster. This is what I remember and from my opinion. [First day] Ok so JC pulled the plug. 2 of us noticed as we were online @ the time Me & (I cant remember who else, was it bart?) So me and personX (pX for short), went to find the college sys-admin and ask what was happening & where the MINDS> box was so we could fix it. We were dutifully informed of what happened (CC complaint and unplugging). On hearing this we sent out Scouts for everyone else to meet in the Callan foyer. pX and I went over to see the SU VP Sinead. She was a personal friend & I thought this could be sorted quickly. (Was I above my station or was I VC at the time? can't remember). We were advised by SU VP that Darragh and (1st year)David had to go. We had to be seen to take immediate decicive action. I remember when Margeret (aka Meaigs) was drawing up the 1st constitution, she didn't want to have a ny grounds for dis-membering a member. Unfortunatly Meaigs is one of the nicest people in the world and didn't look at the darker side of humanity. (anyway the whole thing wasn't such a big deal, same e-mail - subject line - from address, it should've been blocked). So Dave Barrett came in about 15mins into the meeting with SU VP. Action had already been decided (I know it was not my place to decide it). We went about implementing the decided action. We met with ALL of the committee in the foyer (except Darragh), we dis-membered 1stYearDave and started impeachment proceedings against Darragh. Darragh got pissed off with us and argued against it. This coused a lot of bad blood. It's a pity really, because Darragh is a nice guy with an impressive knowledge of UNIX. So in the next few days we got the letter from Noel to Darragh, yada yada... can't remember. So anyone want to fill in what happened before and after? Might make a good book :) It's an interesting part of our little Soc's history and it's important to document it --Me http://www.may.ie

Well, this weekend is going to be my last in Ireland for some time (I'm going to France on Erasmus), so I thought it would be nice to meet up for some drinks. I'll be in Mahaffey's (near Pearse dart station - if you don't know where it is, ask me or Cian) from 4 till 8 on Saturday (25th). Hope to see you there, meaigs -- "Little Bunny FooFoo I don't want to see you scoopin' up the field mice and boppin' em on the head." -- the Blue Fairy
